In the era of digital transformation, human resource management has evolved far beyond the limits of paper files or manual spreadsheets. The smooth and agile operation of a modern business today relies heavily on the ability to integrate and manage data through advanced technological platforms. Grasping this inevitable trend, the Human Resource Information System (HRIS) course has been introduced as a core highlight of the DHRM-OD training program at the Faculty of Business Administration, Foreign Trade University (FTU).
Unlike traditional theoretical approaches, the HRIS course provides students with a comprehensive and in-depth view of modern HR system architecture. The curriculum dives deep into HR data models and the seamless integration of critical modules such as the Applicant Tracking System, Learning Management System, and Payroll system. Simultaneously, students are equipped with a solid foundational knowledge of the strict requirements for data security, system authorization, and legal compliance—vital factors when handling employee personal information.
Emphasizing the “learning by doing” philosophy, the course creates an open space for students to directly experience technology implementation operations. Learners are guided to practice building process blueprints, specifying system requirements, and creating project deployment plans that are closely linked to organizational change management. Through this process, students learn not only how to use the software but also develop the capacity to evaluate software solutions on the market, simulate complex HR processes, and, notably, successfully connect the HRIS system with People Analytics.
To ensure the highest level of practical outcomes, the course is assessed through the design of system demos or prototypes, combined with sharp professional examinations. Upon completing the HRIS course, FTU students will confidently carry a robust toolkit of digital knowledge, ready to become HR Technology Specialists accompanying businesses in their digital transformation and operational optimization journeys.
